Which Should You Buy?
Lancôme's Magnifique is a divisive, opinionated red-dress marvel for those who want a grown-up rose with a spicy, woody edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for its loyal fans, it's a 'magnifique' original that transcends fleeting trends.
Crimson Rocks is a bold, divisive cinnamon bomb with a sticky honeyed rose heart. Some find it a delicious, regal winter warmer, while others are suffocated by the spice and find it too challenging or even 'geriatric'. Definitely try before you buy.
